The Need for Surge Protection
Today’s world is full of electronic products and electrical
devices that are susceptible to damage from overvoltage
surges.
Surges caused by static discharge, capacitive and inductive
loads or lightning can quickly destroy sophisticated electronic
equipment and components used in industrial and commercial
applications and cripple operations – particularly the data and
communication systems that virtually every enterprise relies
upon today, including UL 508A panels with their reliance on
control circuits.
Cooper Bussmann offers a wide selection of surge protection
products that help assure power quality by eliminating
damaging surge and overvoltage conditions.
Surge Protection Case Studies and References for
Industrial and Commercial Applications
• G.W. Allen and D. Segall with IBM – Two year study at over
200 location in 25 cities – 88.5% of AC power problems are
transient voltage related.
• 2011 Erimar Systems Integration - A lightning strike entered
the metals fabricating facility and destroyed $20,000 worth
of control panels, electrical infrastructure and the Cisco
infrastructure. Loss of data system also cost 11 days of
production.
• IEEE Emerald Book and NFPA 780 both recommend using
surge protection as a part of a building's lightning protection
system. Suppressors at the service entrance only reduce,
but not completely eliminate, the high-energy transient. A
second surge protective device must be applied upstream
of critical equipment. All SPDs should comply with UL 1449
latest edition.
• 1999-2001 Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Study –
Concluded downtime from power sags, surges and
transients cost US industry:
Causes and Relevance of Transients and Surges
• Lightning Strikes - Large scale impact, high current and
voltage, but least common occurrence.
• Power Switching - Increasing occurrences:
- Utility & Customer Load Switching – Motors, large loads,
faults, capacitor banks, fuse and circuit breaker
operation*, etc.
- Source Switching - Smart grid, gensets, photovoltaic power
systems and wind power generation, etc.
* During overcurrent events, both circuit breakers and fuses can produce arc
voltages 2-3 times the system voltage in accordance with the UL standards.
Damaging Effects of Transients and Surges
• Disruptive – A voltage transient enters an electronic
component and it interprets the transient as a valid logic
command, resulting in system lock-up, malfunction, faulty
output or corrupted files.
• Dissipative – Associated with short duration repetitive low
energy level surges, resulting in equipment failure over time
including electronic components, ballasts, motors and
controllers, service entrance equipment, panelboards and
switchgear.
• Destructive – Associated with high level energy surges,
resulting in immediate equipment failure including electronic
components, ballasts, motors and controllers, service
entrance equipment, panelboards and switchgear.
- $50 Billion+ in 1999
- $100 Billion+ in 2000
- $200 Billion+ in 2001
- Continues to escalate as more electronic equipment is used
• Plant Services Magazine – 35% of lost production hours can
be attributed to transient voltage problems.
• Florida Light & Power 1999 Study - Sources of Facility
Surge and Overvoltage Events:
Internal Damage - PCB Destroyed By Overvoltage Surge
- ~60% Internally Generated
- ~40% Externally Generated

UL SPD Types & NEC® Locations
Surge Protective Devices are defined as various Types by both
UL and the NEC. They are NOT the same. UL and NEC types
differ significantly by:
1. UL designating the UL Standards of an SPD.
2. NEC® designating Installation Requirements and where an
SPD is permitted to be installed.
UL SPD Standards
SURGE PROTECTIVE DEVICES - UL 1449, Section 1 effective
September 29, 2009, states the following on UL Types:
1.1 These requirements cover Surge Protective Devices
(SPDs) designed for repeated limiting of transient voltage
surges as specified in the standard on 50 or 60 Hz power
circuits not exceeding 1000 V and designated as follows:
Type 1 – Permanently connected SPDs intended for
installation between the secondary of the service
transformer and the line side of the service equipment
overcurrent device, as well as the load side, including watthour meter socket enclosures and intended to be installed
without an external overcurrent protective device.
Type 2 – Permanently connected SPDs intended for
installation on the load side of the service equipment
overcurrent device; including SPDs located at the branch
panel.
Type 3 – Point of utilization SPDs, installed at a minimum
conductor length of 10 meters (30 feet) from the electrical
service panel to the point of utilization, for example cord
connected, direct plug-in, receptacle type and SPDs
installed at the utilization equipment being protected. See
marking in 64.2. The distance (10 meters) is exclusive of
conductors provided with or used to attach SPDs.
Type 4 Component Assemblies – Component assembly
consisting of one or more Type 5 components together with
a disconnect (integral or external) or a means of complying
with the limited current tests in 39.4.

SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY & SurgePOD PRO Wiring Connections and Electrical Systems
Understanding the following points will help assure that the
correct surge protective device is specified for the electrical
system or equipment.
• Typical North American electrical systems include singlephase, split-phase, Delta and Wye.
• Selecting the wrong SPD generally arise from
misunderstanding the nominal system voltage, ground
and neutral connections.
• General convention has it that a “ground” wire is not
counted as a wire in the system description (e.g., 3-wire,
4-wire, etc.), but it is counted as a connection point if the
selected SPD has a ground wire.
• Selection of a device voltage rating for Wye systems must be
based upon its nominal system voltage rating and not on the
leg-to-leg voltages in the Wye.
• Bonded N-G configurations do not require protection at the
service entrance transformer, but protection is required in
downstream bonded N-G systems if the length of conductor
making the bond is greater than 10 feet (3m)*.
*See FAQ #24 for more information.
The following are the SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY and SurgePOD PRO catalog numbers, and the electrical systems and voltages to
which they can be applied along with any notes that help in understanding the context of the application.

The Need for Surge Protection
Today’s world is full of electronic products and devices that
are susceptible to damage from overvoltage surges.
Whether the cause is static discharge or lightning, overvoltage
surges can quickly destroy consumer electronics or
sophisticated electronic packages used in industrial and
commercial applications.
Surge protection products from Cooper Bussmann help
provide power quality that’s free from damaging surges and
overvoltage conditions.
Customer Testimonial
A manufacturing facility in Van Wert, Ohio has a surface
treatment line that is a core process that cannot afford
down time. Every part shipped out of this facility depends
on this process. In effort to reduce the risk of an electrical
power surge compromising this process, Cooper Bussmann
surge protective devices were installed. These components
were easy to install in the existing machine control panel.
The result is a process that is more reliable and available as
well as easier to maintain. Prior to the use of this product, a
lightning-caused surge, damaged the HMI device that
resulted in multiple days of unscheduled down time and a
large unexpected expense to replace it. Since the install no
problems have occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are Surges, transients and temporary overvoltage (TOV)?
4. How does a SPD work?
All these are various forms of overvoltage and are often used
interchangeably. The true definition of these terms is related to
their defined duration.
A surge protector works by momentarily “switching” from an
open circuit mode into a low impedance mode and shunting the
surge energy to the ground and in doing so, limits the
overvoltage to a safe level. When the surge event is over, the
protector returns to its open circuit mode, ready for the next
event or at end of life fails open safely until replaced.
Transients as defined by IEEE Standard 1313.1-1996 are “a
short-duration highly damped, oscillatory or non-oscillatory
overvoltage, having duration of a few milliseconds or less.
Transient overvoltage is classified as one of the following types:
lightning, switching and very fast front, short duration.” These
can be generated by voltage spikes which contain very little
energy but are sufficient in voltage to cause damage to sensitive
electronics.
In other words, the SPD acts as a pressure relief valve. The
pressure relief valve (SPD) does nothing until an overpressure
(voltage surge) occurs in the Supply (power) similar to the
pressure relief valve.
Surge Current
Surge is an overvoltage condition that usually lasts longer in
duration, >10µs & <1Ms and has higher energy to them that
can cause damage to electrical and electronic equipment.
L
Temporary OverVoltage (TOV) are created by faults on the utility
power distribution system and can cause extensive damage
since their time domain is much longer (ms to seconds to
hours).

2. What is a surge protector?
A surge protector is a device that limits transient overvoltages
to a safe level, thus protecting equipment it is connected to
from damage. A surge protector may be expressed using the
following terms: SPD (Surge Protective Device), TVSS (Transient
Voltage Surge Suppressor). There are different variations of SPD
such as lightning arresters and surge arresters or secondary
surge arrestor.
3. What is the difference between terms "Surge Arrester," "Surge
Protective Devices (SPD)" and "Transient Voltage Surge
Suppressor (TVSS)"?
These terms are often used interchangeably and rather loosely.
However, the two terms have different meanings as determined
by the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) (www.nfpa.org), their UL
listing, and applicable IEEE/ANSI standards.
According to NEC 2011 Article 285 TVSSs have been redefined
as “Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) 1kV or Less.” Previously
titled “Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors: TVSSs,” this Article
now uses the “type” designations that parallel the new
requirements in UL 1449, 3rd Edition. It also includes general,
installation, and connection requirements for these SPD types
installed on premises wiring systems rated 1kV or less.

6. How to size an SPD?
SPD size is determined by factors such as geography, size of
distribution transformer, electrical environment, importance of
equipment in operation, cost of downtime, etc.
Call Cooper Bussmann at 636-527-1270 for more information.
7. Can anyone install AC or DC SPD?
Only a qualified electrician should be used for all hardwired
protectors. This will help ensure that all the safety requirements
and all local codes are met. Most common Installation is in
“parallel” to the load/device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
8. What are Series SPD vs. Parallel SPD?
10. What Technologies are used in making SPD?
Series installed SPD are typically used at the equipment level,
either right in front of, or within the equipment they are
protecting. These SPD have an “input” and an “output” whereas
parallel SPD do not. A common example of a series connected
SPD is a “surge strip.” Since they are connected in series with
the equipment, they conduct load current. It is also common for
a series AC SPD to contain a EMI/RFI noise filter. This filtering is
useful when it is right in front of the equipment to filter out noise
generated by other loads.

Breakdown
Parallel SPD do not conduct load current and simply “tap” into
the power system via a circuit protective device. Parallel SPD
are commonly used where large surge energies exist. They’re
used on service entrance panels and switchgear, plus branch
and local panels. Parallel connected protectors are the essential
for all commercial and industrial AC applications.

9. What is a modular SPD?
A modular SPD contains modules that are field replaceable,
thus making maintenance easy and minimizing time with
reduced protection, or no protection at all in some cases. The
modules usually contain the metal oxide varistors (MOV) and
fuses (although sometimes the fuses are external to the
modules). They are the heart of the surge protector. A modular
protector also allows for decreased labor and cost required for
servicing the protector.

Disadvantages
- Limited impulse or current capability

Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV):
An MOV is a variable
resistor typically made of a large
block of zinc oxide grains. They act
like semiconductors, an insulator
below the conduction voltage and
a low value resistor above it. In
conduction mode, the MOV diverts
and dissipates the transient. MOVs
generally connects in parallel to
load. The thickness of the MOV
determines the clamping voltage
and Diameter determines the
current capacity.

1. Non-operating domain: Characterized by practically infinite
insulation resistance.
2. Glow domain: At the breakdown, the conductance increases
suddenly. If the current is drained off by the gas discharge
tube is less than about 0.5A (rough value that differs from
component to component) , the glow voltage across the
terminals will be in the 80-100V range.
3. Arc regime: As the current increases, the gas discharge tube
shifts from glow voltage to the arc voltage (20V). It is this
domain that the gas discharge tube is most effective because
the current discharge can reach several thousand amps
without the arc voltage across the terminals increasing.
4. Extinction: At a bias voltage roughly equal to the glow
voltage, the gas discharge tube recovers to its initial
insulating properties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
12. Where is the best place to install SPD?
14. What Standards govern the SPD?
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD - IEC 61643-1
Ideally, a SPD should be installed at the main service entrance
as close to the N-Gnd (neutral-to-ground) bond as possible, as
shown below. This will ensure that surge energies are routed to
earth by the most direct path. In larger facilities where distances
between this primary protection and the equipment being
protected are long, it is also good practice to use distributed
protection all the way to point-of-use.

13. What is distributed protection?
Distributed Protection, Cascading Protection or Coordination is
the process of coordinating protection between the primary
service entrance to a large facility and the internal branch
distribution panels. Generally a surge protective device (SPD)
with high surge handling capacity is installed at the service
entrance while SPDs of lower surge ratings will be installed on
the branch panels or dedicated supplies feeding sensitive
equipment. This approach can be taken further to include pointof-use SPDs on long lines where they terminate to sensitive or
critical equipment. A further example of such a distributed
protection philosophy might include hardwired SPDs at the
main and sub-panels and additional plug-in protectors on select
equipment. (See pages 5 and 6 for SPD Types and installation
locations.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
16. What is UL1449?
UL1449 is the standard for safety for AC surge protective
devices (SPD) used on systems with voltages of 600Vac and
less. This standard addresses SPDs that are installed on the
load side of the main disconnect. A UL1449 listed or
recognized surge protector has been thoroughly tested for safe
operations. A VPR (Voltage Protection Rating) is assigned to a
UL1449 listed SPD as a result of these tests to help users
compare SPDs. UL 1449 3rd edition went into effect in
September, 2009, making all previous SPDs obsolete. Any older
SPDs should be inspected and may be replaced to meet the
new safety standard prescribed by NEC® (NEC 2011 Articles
280 and 285) which calls for SPD Type products that is part of
the new 1449 3rd Edition.

17. What is NEMA LS 1?
NEMA LS 1 was a surge protector performance standard. A
surge protector which meets this standard is typically used in
the most hostile surge environments, at the service entrance
location. Other protector locations such as branch panel and
local panel protection usually do not require such a formidable
protector. NEMA LS 1 was rescinded in 2009 because the
document was determined to be out of date and many industry
standards related to the surge environment and surge
suppression had been significantly updated since the
original LS 1 standard was published in 1992.
18. I have a PV (photovoltaic) system with net metering; does it need
a surge protection system?
Yes. For PV systems, DC surge protection should be installed
where the DC voltage from the PV arrays terminates at the
charge controller/inverter. AC protection should be installed at
the inverter’s AC output to protect it from transients on the utility
power lines. This can be caused by lightning or utility switching
transients. In certain cases, protection should be located at the
PV array locations, and at the array’s local DC control circuits where applicable. See PV SPD data sheet and Installation
Instructions for more details on the application of the SPD.
19. Why is the lead (wire) length of an AC SPD so critical?
The shorter the lead length between the protector and your
panel, the lower the let-through voltages will be to your
equipment. This is crucial to the effectiveness of all parallelconnected surge protectors.
SPD are typically connected in parallel with the load. This
means that the protector does not carry load current. But more
importantly, it means that the SPD must efficiently divert
transient currents through it during an overvoltage event. The
SPD must “look” like an electrical short circuit momentarily in
order to efficiently divert large amounts of current. The longer
the wire, the more inductance it has, and the greater the
(L x di/dt) factor will be. So when installing parallel surge
protectors, keep the leads as close to, but not less than, six
inches as possible for best performance.
52
21. How long does an SPD last?
How long an MOV based SPD lasts depends upon how often
the MOV experiences an overvoltage event and for how long.
Every time an MOV switches, it’s life is slightly degraded. The
greater the transient hit, the greater the degradation of the
MOV. One hit of 20kA may degrade the MOVs life just as much
as 15 hits at 0.2kA. So, in other words it may last a day taking
a large hit or years with smaller surges.
22. By VPR, what are the IEEE C62.41 defined withstand
categories of equipment?
Category I: Sensitive electronic circuits
<1500V overvoltage
Category II: Domestic electrical equipment <2500V overvoltage
Category III: Distribution panels, switchgear <4000V overvoltage
Category IV: Industrial equipment, meters
<6000V overvoltage
23. Can a SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY insulated conductor be
permanently identified for equipment grounding at each end
using color tape?
No, the 2011 NEC® only permits changing identification on
6AWG and larger conductors. The SurgePOD HEAVY DUTY
conductors are 10AWG and too small.
Details are contained in section 250.119 Identification of
Equipment Grounding Conductors.
NEC® 250.119 (A) contains these specific words: “An insulated
or covered conductor larger than 6AWG shall be permitted, at
the time of installation, to be permanently identified as an
equipment grounding conductor at each end and at every point
where the conductor is accessible.”

SPD Glossary
24. Why are there requirements for installing some Type 1 SPDs not
more than 10 feet from a bonded neutral-ground connection or
greater than 10 feet from the bonded neutral-ground connection?
These requirements reflect a best practice for SPD wiring, as
opposed to any Code requirements. When an SPD is located
within 10 feet (3m) of the main service panel, the system can
make use of the neutral line as an effective ground, due to the
close proximity to the service entrance grounding conductor.
For distances greater than 10 feet (3m), it is a best practice to
select an SPD that has Neutral to Ground protection. This helps
ensure a proper grounding is available for an SPD, which is
critical to effectively protect the electrical system.

assembly or NEMA Style SPDs (Surge-in-a-Box).
Surge Current
Normal operation - Current through MOV/SPD while conducting
a surge – tends to be momentary.
Thermal Disconnect
Protecting MOV from going into a thermal runaway condition
thus preventing catastrophic MOV failure.
Thermal Runaway
Operational condition when the sustained power dissipation of
an SPD exceeds the thermal dissipation capability of the housing
and connections, leading to a cumulative increase in the
temperature of the internal elements culminating in failure.
54
Note: Type 2 and 3 SPDs were previously known as
TVSSs.
Type 4
There are RECOGNIZED COMPONENTS tested to
either UL Type 1, 2 or 3 categories. DIN-Rail SPD falls
under this category and are tested to typically Type 2
category and Type 3 category.
Vo/Un - Nominal System Voltage
A nominal value assigned to designate a system of a given
voltage class in accordance with ANSI C84.1. Typical voltages
include 120, 208, 240, 277, 347, 480, 600 Vac.
VPR - Voltage Protection Rating
A rating selected from a list of preferred values as given in Table
63.1 of UL 1449 3rd Edition and assigned to each mode of
protection. The value of VPR is determined as the nearest
highest value taken from Table 63.1 to the measured limiting
voltage determined during the transient-voltage surge suppression test using the combination wave generator at a setting of
6kV, 3kA. It is also known as “let-through voltage.”
